Characterization of Major Histocompatibility Complex Genes in Jungle Fowls, Genus Gallus

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2003
Chicken major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) is smaller in size and contains fewer genes than does mammal Mhc. To clarify the characters of Mhc genes in junglefowls as the ancestral species of domestic chickens, we analyzed their Mhc class I B-F and ...

Antiphospholipid Syndrome: An Antibody‐Mediated Disease With Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thromboinflammatory disease characterized by vascular thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, and other manifestations driven by antiphospholipid autoantibodies. In this review, we present a clinical case that illustrates some diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in managing severe, relapsing APS ...

Gene duplication and fragmentation in the zebra finch major histocompatibility complex

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2010
Background Due to its high polymorphism and importance for disease resistance, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has been an important focus of many vertebrate genome projects. Avian MHC organization is of particular interest because the chicken

Identification of a CD4+ T cell-stimulating antigen of pathogenic bacteria by expression cloning. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Identifying the immunogenic proteins that elicit pathogen-specific T cell responses is key to rational vaccine design. While several approaches have succeeded in identifying major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I bound peptides that stimulate CD8+

Linking Skin and Joint Inflammation in Psoriatic Arthritis through Shared CD8+ T Cell Clones

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an HLA class I–associated inflammatory arthritis that develops in up to 30% of people with psoriasis. We tested the hypothesis that skin and joint inflammation in PsA is linked in terms of CD8+ T cell phenotype and clonality.

The CCR4-NOT complex contributes to repression of Major Histocompatibility Complex class II transcription

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The multi-subunit CCR4 (carbon catabolite repressor 4)-NOT (Negative on TATA) complex serves as a central coordinator of all different steps of eukaryotic gene expression.

Multiple sclerosis and the major histocompatibility complex

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurology, 2009
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults. The cause is unknown, but detailed epidemiological and genetic studies have shown a clear inherited component. We review here some of the recent findings of MS genetics with a particular focus on genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).Recent studies add
